FAQs
What is the diameter of this curtain pole?
The curtain pole has a diameter of 28mm, which is a standard size suitable for most curtain rings and eyelets.
Can this pole be cut to size?
No, this is a fixed-length metal curtain pole and is not designed to be cut. For longer windows, poles over 210cm are supplied in two pieces to be joined.
What is the maximum weight this pole can support?
While durable, the exact weight capacity depends on the installation and wall support. It is suitable for moderate weight curtains. For very heavy drapes, additional support brackets are recommended.
Does it come with mounting hardware?
Typically, curtain pole sets include brackets and finials. Wall fixings (screws and wall plugs) suitable for your specific wall type may need to be purchased separately.
How do I clean the curtain pole?
Clean the pole with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals to maintain the finish.
What should I do if my pole is over 210cm?
Poles over 210cm are supplied in two sections that need to be joined together, usually with an internal connector. You will also need to use a central support bracket to prevent sagging.
Is the grey finish prone to scratching?
The finish is designed for durability, but like most metal finishes, it can be scratched by sharp or abrasive objects. Handle with care during installation and use.
Troubleshooting
Pole sags in the middle
Ensure the pole is adequately supported. For poles over 210cm, use the middle support bracket. Consider adding an extra bracket for heavier curtains.
Curtains do not slide smoothly
Check if the curtain rings or eyelets are snagging on the pole or the bracket. Ensure the pole is level and the rings are not damaged.
Brackets feel loose
Re-secure the brackets to the wall. Use appropriate wall fixings for your wall type and ensure they are firmly tightened.
Finials won't stay on
Ensure the finials are properly seated on the end of the pole. Some finials have a small screw or mechanism to secure them; check for this.
